Team GB’s Brinn Bevan continued his dominant form at the 2013 European Youth Olympic Festival by winning the all-around title in Utrecht. Brinn, who led the standing in qualifications, scored a hugely impressive 85.200 to take the top spot in front of teammate Nile Wilson with 83.700.
Brinn said after “It feels really good. Before this event started I never expected to win a medal in the individual all-around and it feels amazing to be on the podium together with Nile. I went clean and at first I was hoping for a top-three position, or maybe fourth, but to win here is great.”
The gold and silver are added to the boy’s team gold – along with Jay Thompson – and with apparatus finals still to come there is the promise of even more medals once again proving how dominant the British men’s teams have become.
Junior National Coach Barry Collie said: “It feels great; we’ve really put the pressure on the boys. We really wanted them to win the gold and silver medals. Brinn’s performance was outstanding. He has been through some hard times in his life and it’s great to see him winning gold here. He scored 85 points, which is just awesome, especially for a junior competitor.”
